1 KECK TELESCOPE CONTROL SYSTEM UPGRADE (TCSU) PROJECT STATUS [MOCOAAB05] J.Johnson, K.Tsubota, J.Mader W.M. Keck Observatory ICALEPCS

2 The Telescope Control System Upgrade The Keck telescopes, located at one of the world s premier sites for astronomy, were the first of a new generation of very large ground-based optical/infrared telescopes. The first Keck telescope began science operations in May of 1993, and the second in October of 1996 making the components of the telescopes and control systems more than 15 years old. The upgrade to the control systems of the telescopes consists of mechanical, electrical, software and network components. MOCOAAB05 - ICALEPCS

3 Additional Talks & Posters THC0BB05 Challenges and solutions to upgrading a running system THPPC067 New EPICS (ASYN based) device drivers for TCSU National Instruments RIO, Heidenhain EIB, Symmetricom BC635PCIe,...
